Exhibition/Event

NICE T-SHIRT

I am graphic designer who came from Bangkok, Thailand. We were brought up to see the Japanese media from the small time. We like "Doraemon, Dr. slump & hail, Kamen Rider, Gundam, ninja Hattori, Ikkyu, Chibi Maruko-chan". Afterwards movie of Manager Akira Kurosawa and come to enjoy animation Japanese movie of Studio Ghibli came to be interested in music, art, graphic design very much. We like reading novel of Haruki Murakami recently. In addition, we designed a lot of book jackets of Haruki Murakami translated for Thai.

We do not understand whether all around me is called "inspiration". In addition, we did not know whether it was called "imagination", but we most strongly received influence such as concept and story, way of thinking from all Japan, and it was to graphic designer. We are active as artist now in Shizuoka. We think that people of Shizuoka and life in Shizuoka, mountain "Mount Fuji" which I love again have a big influence on me. I love comics, art, design here and receive energy of Japan every day in Shizuoka. It is very good for my life and carrier.

As I came under the influence of the Japanese mass media, we do "Shizuoka" and "Thailand Bangkok" in motif and produce. Reason why we chose T-shirt as at this exhibition is because anyone wanted to make art peace that is easy to be available. We want to see person wearing T-shirt which I designed. And we are glad if inspiration gets wide to next-generation person. We want to continue from now on.

I am a Thai graphic designer from Bangkok Thailand. I have grown up with Japanese media.I enjoyed Doraemon, Dr. Slump & Arale, Kamen Riders, Gundam, Hatori ninja, Ikkyu san, Maruko chan. And after that I began to enjoy movies by Kurozawa and Studio Ghibli, a lot of Japanese movies, music, art and graphic designs. Now I love to read Haruki Murakami's novel and I designed a lot of Haruki Murakami's books in Thai version.

Everything around me I don't know it's called "Inspiration".I don't know it's called "Imagination", anything that I like the concept and the story from Japan are very strong inspiration that push me to go to my career now as a graphic designer, as an artist and push me to move and live in Shizuoka now.Every Minutes in this Shizuoka city with the Shizuoka people with my favourite mountain "Fuji mountain" inspired me a lot.I do a lot of mangas, art and designs here. In Shizuoka I have receive the Japanese energy in everyday life. That's very good for my life and my career.

I want to show my work through T-shirts which are inspired by Shizuoka people, Shizuoka City and also my Hometown Bangkok in Thailand. Because I had been growing up with mass Japanese media, and T-shirt is a medium for my career to show my work and I thought it's the easiest way for people to own a piece of art that could be a part of everyday life. Anyway, I just want to see Shizuoka people wear my work of art in the street to inspire other people, other boys and other girls the same way as I was inspired by Japanese culture. I want to inspire people of the next generation. I just hope it could be continue.
